An introduction to problem solving and logic needed for working with computer systems. Students will learn to analyze problems and apply the three basic programming structures – sequence, decision, and repetition – and top-down design to develop a solution. Students will also learn number systems, logic, truth tables, Boolean logic, base 2 and base 16 representations. Student will learn the tools used for problem solving such as structure charts, flowcharts, pseudocode, decision tables, and UML. Other topics covered include the concept of a computer system and programming methods. 4 lecture hours; 0 lab hours per week.
